Ethernet Ports

The storage server has four RJ-45 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network connectors, labeled
NET 3, NET 2, NET 1, and NET 0, from left to right on the storage server rear panel. Use these
ports to connect the storage server to the network.
The LEDs located above each NET port are Link/Activity (left) and Speed (right) indicators for
each port. The following table lists the Ethernet transfer rates and the Speed LED color.

Description
The service processor NET MGT port is the optional connection to the
Oracle ILOM service processor. The NET MGT port is configured by default
to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The service processor
NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000BASE-T connection.
The service processor SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is the default
connection to the Oracle ILOM service processor. This port supports
local connections to the storage server and only recognizes Oracle ILOM
command-line interface (CLI) commands. Typically you connect a terminal
or terminal emulator to this port.
Note - This port does not support network connections.
